Colorado Hosts the 35th CRA Trade Show

By Lauren White, RCS Reporter.

The Colorado Roofing Association’s free trade show brings roofing professionals together to network, hear the latest industry trends, and learn about new products and services.

Where will you be Thursday, January 23, 2020?  Hopefully joining us at the 35th annual CRA Trade Show!  Since 1985, the Colorado Roofing Association has been providing an opportunity for those in the roofing industry to make connections and learn about what’s new in the industry.  

You won’t want to miss this event in Denver, Colorado!  From 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Denver Mart, meet with over 1,000 installers, builders, architects, manufacturers, and applicators of roofing products and services.

The annual CRA Trade Show is a great way to connect with roofing professionals, talk with suppliers and manufacturers, and get your roofing questions answered.  Roofers new to the industry, or those wanting to see the latest industry trends, will find educational exhibits of roofing equipment and materials, will have opportunities to meet with current and potential customers, and will learn about new products and services available.

CRA shares what attendees can expect to see at the show, including, “new roofing materials, installation techniques, solar and PV products/applications, safety products, and business management solutions (i.e. roofing software/tech products, insurance, trash removal, etc.).”

Admission to this show is FREE!  A complimentary lunch buffet and refreshments will also be available to all attendees and vendors.  CRA has even planned a free seminar before the show, titled, “Hire, Onboard, Retain the Right People.”  From 10 to 11 a.m. learn, “step-by-step strategies to successfully attract, interview, hire, and onboard your team the right way.”  Make sure to register for both events! Registration for the trade show closes at 11 p.m. (MST) on January 22, 2020.

CIUs (Continuing Involvement Requirement for Members) are required for current and new contractor CRA members.  Continuing education allows contractors to advance and improve in their profession. Attending the show will earn a member one CIU per person, and partaking in the trade show seminar earns CRA members two CIUs per person.

Don’t forget to register for both the trade show and for the pre-event seminar to get extra CIUs.  And while you’re registering, in the spirit of giving, add a Raise the Roof Fund Donation to your cart.  This is part of the 2020 annual giving campaign. According to CRA, “Over 40% of our trade show proceeds are being used for charitable outreach...Donations to the Rob McReynolds Raise the Roof Charity Fund will pay in whole, or in part, for a deserving homeowner or non-profit in need of a roof each year.”
